World War Z-Z-Z-Zion?

10. World War Z -- hard to not make associations to current events

Whether intended or not, there are a lot of events and situations in that film that are fair game for interpretation. My son and I watched the new Superman movie and World War Z this weekend, and we both agree -- World War Z won hands down. But that's just us.

One of the most meaningful moments in the film -- to me -- was when the character in Israel -- the "10th man" -- commented on how the Jewish people had all seen the holocaust coming and had done nothing, and they had seen other dangers clearly approaching and had done nothing -- because, according to this man, it is human nature to not want to believe.

The allegory -- or literary comparison -- or whatever you might want to call it is that here in today's world we see global warming effects creeping over the horizon, we see the whole world financial system rotting at the base, we see the populations exploding and the resources being rapidly depleted and yeah, we realize that at some point in the future that the shit is going to hit the fan -- but not today, and not tomorrow, maybe not even in "my" lifetime. But, that might just be wishful thinking.

Well, that was the pleasant comparison that my son and I came up with. I thought it was a really good movie -- well worth the entry fee!
